These days, I spend a lot of time working with Microsoft Azure. I also make a conscious effort to use the Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell module when managing my Azure resources. These resources help me get a better understanding of the platform and allow me to move freely between devices.

Last January I switched jobs from Inuits to Valtech after almost three years of consultancy assignments. Although I really liked my consultancy job at Inuits, it was almost always focused on the same thing: training client teams in the use of provisioning tools and guiding them in the best practices around continuous integration and deployment.

I spent the majority of my week in Berlin attending Monitorama EU 2013. It was an enjoyable, well-organized event and the talks were generally of a good quality. All the presentations were recorded, you can watch the recordings if you’re interested.
